For pre-retirees, fine-tuning your insurance is essential as you prepare for retirement. If you have outstanding loans, like a mortgage, a term life insurance policy can help ensure your debts are covered, preventing financial strain on your family in the event of your passing. It's also important to maintain an Integrated Shield Plan on top of MediShield Life to manage potential hospitalisation expenses, especially as healthcare costs tend to increase with age.
You can always downgrade to a more affordable plan tier later if needed. Additionally, a long-term care plan, such as CareShield Life, is vital for providing financial support in case you become severely disabled and require help with daily activities. To enhance this coverage, consider adding a supplementary plan that boosts the monthly payouts and offers greater protection, giving you and your family peace of mind in managing long-term care costs as you age.
